I have a coke collection that I decided to sell and the sign is among many items. This sign is 24" x 68" and it is in good condition. Local pick up only.

Picked it up today.  :happydrinkers:

The sign is in decent shape but has some dents and chips.  Has AM-90 in the lower right-hand corner.  Looks to be on half of an original two sided sign.  Certainly not a museum piece but with a little wood framing behind it and a quick wipe down it is a nice looking sign to display for $25.00!

PS--I will be listing it for $25,000 in two years when my first son starts college!  :biggrin: :laugh: 8)

It appears to be painted but the paint is in good condition.  Most of the damage is where it was removed from the original sign along the edges.  It has a few curves in it and that is why I am thinking about putting some wood framing behind it to stratghten it out and prevent any future bends or damage when moving.

When I first looked at it I thought it may have been repainted but I don't think it was.  If it was repainted, whoever did it was a good sign painter.  Either way I figured I couldn't go wrong for $25.

Thanks!
